We met during our junior year at Xavier University, introduced by a mutual friend. We reconnected the summer before our senior year and started dating shortly after. Over the past eight years (yes, it's been that long) our journey together has been filled with love, laughter, and countless adventures. Some of our favorite memories include: -Taking a big trip to Ireland and other exciting vacations -Exploring Cincinnati and trying endless restaurants -Adopting Olive, our lab/hound mix and the best girl ever -Buying our first home together In July 2024, Kate was attending a Reds game with her sister and friends. After the game, they crossed the bridge, heading to what Kate thought was a bar – but Steven had other plans. Waiting for her across the bridge, Steven proposed in front of the Cincinnati skyline as the Friday night fireworks lit up the sky. It was the perfect moment. We are so beyond thankful to celebrate this next chapter with our friends and family by our side!
